Bug#104231: ITP: dbishell -- Interactive SQL shell with readline support

[Daniel Silverstone <dsilvers@digital-scurf.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

dbishell is a project currently residing on Sourceforge which is a
powerful terminal based client for many databases. Indeed, dbishell
uses perl's DBI interface, to allow it (theoretically) to access any
database which has a DBD driver.

dbishell has specific support for mysql, postgresql, oracle and
sybase, and is, itself, entirely held under the GPL.

I include below, the description of dbishell as appears on the project
page:

 Database shell with readline support [command history, 
 tab completion etc] based on the Perl DBI:

 Has specific support for Oracle, MySQL, Sybase, 
 PostgreSQL, and a generic driver that should work for
 anything supported by DBI.

     and
